TY - JOUR AU - Hassoun, Jusef AB - IntroductionLithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) dominated the list over the last three decades for a wide range of consumer electronics,[1] due to their attractive features in terms of good gravimetric and volumetric energy densities (up to 250 Wh kg−1 and 650 Wh L−1, respectively), absence of memory effect, and long cruise‐autonomy.[2] Furthermore, the large‐scale diffusion of the lithium‐ion system in the global battery market has been making a steady stride toward a stage of speed development due to the rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) and smart power grids market.[3] Yet, the increase of the cobalt price by 2.56 times in only one and a half years (US$ 26 500 per ton in September 2016, versus US$ 94 250 per ton in March 2018),[4] as well as the need for improved energy density and safety content,[5] has boosted the research for new electrolytes,[6] and in particular for alternatives to the traditional LIBs electrodes, such as graphite (C6), LiCoO2 (LCO), and LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NMC).[7] In this scenario, a relevant breakthrough in LIBs configuration may be achieved by replacing the commercial graphite anode by carbon composites containing various high‐capacity systems, including Li‐alloying metals such as Sn and Sb, or silicon.[8,9] However, a sever limit was posed by the structural instability TI - A Li‐Ion Battery Using Nanostructured Sn@C Alloying Anode and High‐Voltage LiNi0.35Cu0.1Mn1.45Al0.1O4 Spinel Cathode JF - Energy Technology DO - 10.1002/ente.202200725 DA - 2022-12-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/a-li-ion-battery-using-nanostructured-sn-c-alloying-anode-and-high-HGFyheXoQh VL - 10 IS - 12 DP - DeepDyve ER -
